    For anyone wondering the difference between 370 million tonnes and 37.5 billion tonnes, it’s about 37.5 billion tonnes.

      370 million is just under 1% of 37.5 billion. It’s obviously far from the majority but I can see it being something that should be addressed.

        Oh, agreed. I just think there are better metrics we can point at other than carbon release for why bottom trawling is a terrible thing for the environment.

      370 million is 0.37 billion, so the difference is about 37.13 billion.

      370 million tons of carbon from a single source is a considerable amount.
